Tuesday, January 9

 I've been out to do my regular watering and I think that doing it in the morning is appreciated by the plants.  In fact, we have had to make arrangements to have some of them cut back.  Somebody advertised on the local Facebook page that he was looking for some gardening work; we rang him up and booked him in.  He's a professional, has his own insurance and registered with Mygov as offering special services to oldies.  We expect him next week for his first stint.

The main issue is some hedge-type plants at the side of the house which are growing over the path.  It's a narrow space and we're. being crowded out by the extra growth.  At the front, too, we have some flax plants which are going mad.  In the summer, they produce masses of large purple berries which look particularly lethal. However, they are popular with the blackbirds which feast on them.  There's a male and a female out there at the moment, taking turns to fly in and snatch a berry.  It's all go here.
